Monday Meal Plan 1-7-13

Tips like these helped us pay off $127K in debt. You can read our story in Slaying the Debt Dragon: How One Family Conquered Their Money Monster and Found an Inspired Happily Ever After.

January 7, 2013 By Cherie Lowe

Good Day Money Saving Lords and Ladies! Welcome to 2013.  I can’t think of a better time to get the little dandy meal planner {pictured above} and begin jotting down what we’ll be eating this week.

Without further ado, here’s what’s on the Royal Table this week:

Monday:  Chef Salad
w Ham, Egg, Cheese, Peppers, Cucumber, & Carrots
Crockpot Honey Cinnamon Pears
Toast with Olive Oil

Tuesday:  Taco Tuesday {For Our Family Plus 2 Guests}
Crockpot Pulled Chicken
Black Beans and Brown Rice
Choice of: Taco Shells, Cheese, Salsa, Spinach, Guacamole, Onions, and Greek Yogurt
Apple Crumble with Cool Whip

Wednesday:  Egg Sandwiches
Homemade Sweet Potato Fries
Fruit Smoothies
Apple Slices

Thursday:  Homemade Pizza
with Ham, Pineapple, Almonds, Red Onion, & Cinnamon
Salad

Friday:  Grilled Cheese Bar
Fresh Cut Veggies w Dip
Apple Slices
Popcorn

Saturday:  Brunch: Pancakes, Scrambled Eggs with Ham

Dinner: Pulled Pork
Sweet Potato Fries
Broccoli Slaw
Peach Crumble

Sunday:  Lunch:  Leftovers

                Dinner: TBD

Planning meals was definitely one of the biggest keys for success in our paying off over $127K in debt.  It’s an easy step to make the most of what you have and keep you out of the drive thru.  If craziness ensues {which often it does in the Queendom}, I’m not afraid to swap out a quicker meal on a different deal or even jumble around our side dishes.  I just have peace of mind and am prepared to make any of the meals listed before the week begins.  And that keeps us from overspending at the grocery store {or restaurant} and making the highest best use of what we have purchased.
What are you having on your Royal Table this week?
